I hate this so much. I HATE THIS SO MUCH SO THAT I WANT TO KILL MYSELF IN FRONT OF THE WRITERS JUST SO THAT THEY WILL FEEL AN OUNCE OF THE PAIN AND TRAUMA THEY LEFT ME WITH. Hyde was just like "you can go back to kelso" ARE YOU KIDDING ME????? If there is one thing, ONE THING STEVEN HYDE WOULD NEVER SAY is that. Not after how jealous he was anytime they interacted and anytime Michael made jokes and how much it angered him that she had been with Kelso first. He literally hated that and the writing made it CLEAR. I mean obviously nothing in season 8 makes sense and it's all OOC but I just wanted to point this one out.
THEY WERE GOING TO GET ENGAGED
@thestupidhelmet I can't even begin to comprehend how you must've felt watching it when it aired.

Something I haven't seen many people point out is how Jackie has said many times that she hates Hyde's family. And they show it like it's something funny but it's obviously because they literally abandoned him. She is so happy he has a new father because the other one was a drunk who left and she says "I hate your family" and then when she is talking about their wedding she says "your family can't come". And again, they frame it as a joke but even if the writers didn't have it in mind to me it's because she HATES HIS FAMILY because of what they did to him.
You know what's surprising with Nalu is I think Natsu is more attracted to Lucy than she is to him
Like pushing my feminist to the side for a shameful moment, he only ever gets flustered and pleased when he sees her naked or when he some way or another ends up groping her (a lot more obvious in 100YQ)
(The fucking random chapter where they're in the stone age holy fuck 😭😭😭✋️✋️✋️)
He deadass attacked guys that were hitting on her at the train station
Says he finds her smell comforting (she's his canonical safe space lord have mercy)
Lucy gets flustered when Natsu closes in on her face when they dance, and when that kid (whose name I forgot lol) tried to force them to kiss
Lucy also gets flustered when he's naked, but any guy who is suddenly naked in front of her makes her embarrassed. Same with when he ends up landing on her boobs or something.
Lucy's attraction to Natsu is a lot more subtle and sometimes you can even interpret these teases as not special to Natsu specifically if you REALLY wanted to stretch it that way
From what I remember, Natsu flusters Lucy when he does something unexpectedly intimate or flirty, but when other guys do something similar (i.e. Loki) she's pretty stale about it
But Natsu now
It's Lucy or nothing LMAO
Like even when he semi-admits to having a crush on someone else- Anna Heartfilia- it is only so Mashima can reveal he is attracted to Lucy in the same way he was attracted to Anna before
When Lucy's drunk she's extremely clingy to only Natsu, while the usual oblivious Natsu is visibly flustered and nervous from her attention and proximity- WRITTEN AND ILLUSTRATED BY MASHIMA HIMSELF
Insane man
Armand orchestrated Madeleine’s death because she so easily outcunted him. Absolutely no effort just laughed him in the face at his questions “yeah I can live and be mentally stable for eternity. what, like it’s hard?” she said skill issue if you can’t handle killing as a vampire. Every night Armand has seven different existential crisis and Madeleine sleeps soundly without a shred of guilt WHILE ALSO looking dead drop gorgeous and being funnier than everyone around her. Armand had to take her out early. He never stood a chance
daniel molloy character of all time once again: like imagine you’re a 20-something drug addict and a terrible journalist on account of being 20-something and a drug addict and you randomly meet a vampire at a gay bar and you think wow I might get drugs, gay sex and a story out of this and instead what you get is psychologically and physically tortured by his husband and your memories of it all erased and then 50 years later you’re DYING and those vampires show up in your life again to ask you to write the story of their happy marriage and your memory might be fucked but ON GOD you WILL ruin that marriage if it’s the last thing you do. and then not only do you succeed and walk out of it alive, but also with a bestseller, millions in your bank account AND immortality AND the knowledge that your annoying human ass was somehow the one thing that made that 500+ year old predator so mad that he broke his lifetime vow to never turn anyone. AND, on top of that, you’re out of the CLOSET.
Hiccup: *pretending to joke* So when are you going to go out with me?
Astrid: I don't know. When are you going to ask me to?
*later*
Fishlegs: And you just ran away?!
Hiccup: I didn't expect her to flirt back!
You know what, I don't care what anyone says, this is the funniest line and scene to me in Dragons: Race to the Edge;
Just something about him picking fun of his lack of leg and inability to say no to Astrid's ideas for the price of one line is hilarious to me.
i love the idea that viggo's issue is that he's always overestimating the dragon riders and that's why he loses. other antagonists always underestimate them, they don't put in all the necessary precautions, which allows the riders to slip through, always throwing parties and gloating before the dragon is in the cage. but viggo?
my man takes so many precautions, his entire island is a war base, and yet, and YET the dragon riders got in by dyeing snotlout's hair blonde, giving him gucci boots and naming him sir ulgertorpe, SIR ULGERTORPE. viggo got catfished by snotlout with blonde hair. he's overestimating them so bad that the IDEA of them "just walking in" doesn't even come to mind. he's ready for fire and death to fall from the sky but a one-legged boy pulling a fast one on him breaks his fancy little english brain.
billy (as captain marvel) has to give a speech at a gallery opening and the gods are arguing over something silly. billy, annoyed, accidentally responds to it mid speech, getting into the argument himself. unfortunately the event is being broadcasted
it quickly goes viral
random internet user: LMAO WHO IS CAP ARGUING WITH DID HE FORGET HES ON LIVESTREAM [1:45 PM] other internet user: nevermind that did he forget he was mid speech?! [1:46 PM]
clark kent, one of the reporters covering the opening, looks on in disbelief
Can we just talk for a second about how Disney fully could have leaned into the crazy Latina women and husbands who roll their eyes at it, but Felix is always so fuckin quick to validate her. Not one crazy joke, not even a single comment, just fully encourages her to feel her emotions.
when she’s crying at Antonio’s ceremony, he could fully have been like yo chill stop being dramatic, but all he says is love, you’re gonna get him wet. Not a, don’t cry, not an omg stop, just a gentle reminder to move the cloud over a little.
And with the whole hurricane wedding, he’s not, oh she ruined the weather or ugh it was a disaster. Just a, what a joyous day. Like she’s warning mirabel and he’s like fuck yeah I get to talk about one of the best days of my life
Look how fucking happy he is, getting pelted by hail by his fucking goddess of a wife
Shang Qinghua comes in late to a Peak Lord meeting and immediately gets harangued and insulted by Cucumber Bro, but like, good naturedly, and he responses in kind
But once the meeting gets started he notices that several peak lords look disheveled and kind of beat up and everyone is either giving him dirty looks or looking at him like he's a puzzle to solve
What he doesn't know:
Before he got there the other Peak Lords started talking shit about Shang Qinghua and Shen Qingqiu lost his shit at them. Blood was spilt but more than that egos were punctured
And then the moment Shang Qinghua turns up Shen Qingqiu is ruder to his face then they were behind his back
They are all so confused
I wonder how many wives joined Bingges harem because they were secretly lesbians and living in a mansion filled with beautiful women is literally heaven.
Our husband is out fucking some other wife? Dw girl I'll go get the strap.
Listen I've always said that pidw must have had several threesome scenes to appeal to gooners, and of course Shang Qinghua went "dudes love girl on girl action, I'll write these women making out for fanservice before they have sex with Binghe"
But then Bingmei ends up being gay and monogamous and suddenly there are all these women single who have an instinctive desire to kiss and fuck each other and no husband to act as their comp het middle man
Shen Yuan: how are the Palace Mistress and Sha Hualing dating!?
Shang Qinghua: I mean they did straight up have sex in pidw
Shen Yuan: yeah, for Binghe's attention! It was straight sex with another woman!
Shang Qinghua: I think I'm starting to understand how your mind works
Jason should have come back to the manor post-lazarus pit and revealed himself as Jason Todd but not told the rest of the family that he’s also Red Hood. can you imagine how fucking funny that would be.
Nightwing: honestly! my family is fucking INSANE! i swear the only good one is my little brother, he died and came back and decided to ditch the vigilante life.
Red Hood: oh shit really?
Nightwing: honestly probably the smartest one out of all of us, he’s reading in bed while we’re all out here on stakeouts!
Red Hood: interesting. tell me more about how this brother is the best of all of you.
~
Red Hood: so what are you guys getting the smart handsome not-vigilante brother for Christmas?
Nightwing, Red Robin, and Robin:
~
Batman: now i need all of you to have an equal share in the clean up-
Red Hood: yeah sorry, you aren’t MY dad, so i’m gonna dip. have fun cleaning!
the funniest part is when Dick and Tim decide that since Red Hood and Jason are so similar and Red Hood CLEARLY seems to like what he hears about Jason, that they should try to set the two up.
Jason, calling Roy at 4am: i need you in Gotham within the next hour so you can dress up as Red Hood and we can pretend that I’m sleeping with myself.
Roy:
Roy: i’m gonna get caught sneaking out of your bedroom with lipstick on your helmet
Jason: this is gonna be the funniest thing we’ve ever done.
need more… injustice billy content…
im drying up out here like its not even bc of the angst that i need it, its just because its so so SO interesting as a somewhat psychological horror type thing.
like tell me you’re not interested about what is going on in supes head when he kills billy, or what billy is thinking, or EVEN what mary is thinking and she isn’t even there.
like you could even throw in sunny for good measure, how would he react when he learns that his old friend billy has died? it was already a shock hearing that fawcett’s local hero joined the regime, even more to find out that it was one of sunny’s friends.
how does freddy react after billy died because of supes after freddy said he was against it in the first place? would he regret not convincing billy enough? or would he think that it was billy’s own choice that caused his death and not feel guilty, just grief that billy had died in the first place? (reference to that one panel where freddy is captured by regime because he was protesting against it, which i think is a thing but i forgot so dont take my word for it)
does superman genuinely think that he was in the right for killing billy, or was it the heat of the moment? in the chance that it was in the heat of the moment, does he convince himself that he is right, that billy was a casualty of war to avoid the regret that came along from his actions?
and dont EVEN get me started on mary’s reaction, imagine the long lost brother that you’ve been missing for your whole life is taken away from you just a few months/years after you found him. did mary already know that it was going to end badly by seeing how much worse the regime got, or did she just trust billy to handle everything?
i really just wanna pick at their minds lowkey
Lilia just sacrificed herself to save her coven from the Salem seven... god.. and to end it all off, "I loved being a witch." I'm SOBBING. I'm actually DEVASTATED. I'm so thankful to marvel for not showing us her death. This ending scene is so beautiful. She finally gets to see her family.
it's so beautiful finding out that the ballad of the witches' road began between agatha and nicholas and their bond, and earlier on we find out that lorna wu created her version in order to protect alice I AM ABSOLUTELY DESTROYED.
It's so funny that Luo Binghe asks for love advice and Mobei is the first to pipe up with "beat him three times a day"
which definitely got all the other demons in the room thinking: "and how's that working out for you Lord Desperate To Get Fucked By Your Servant"
Only to get shocked when Shang Qinghua advises Junshang to "be pathetic"
Like imagine watching your colleague fail to land a date with his assistant for forever only for the assistant to reveal he's being trying to land a date with your colleague this whole time
They're so stupid
Imagine Shang Qinghua just absolutely activating the Caine instinct in Shen Yuan. One wrong move and he’s hair pulling, biting, licking, spitting, every underhanded move in the book. He’s gotta get his sibling aggression out. Meanwhile Airplane, an only child, is screaming, crying “NO BITING!! STOP LICKING ME!!!” It’s attracted the attention Yue Qingyuan, who wants to cry knowing his Xiao Jiu is still in there….
(Slow pan to Binghe rushing to the cold pools.)
underrated little moment from the armand and madeline interrogation. madeline mocking a centuries-old vampire and calling him "young man". armand not being able to resist a genuinely amused smile. her instinct to include claudia in on the joke a room away. claudia being so stressed she can't join in.
You know, Chloé honestly shouldn't be the way she is in the show, even with André and Audrey. Why?
Ballet.
Specifically the kind of extremely expensive top tier ballet she would be thrust into. As of Frightingale she had 8yrs of ballet. That's starting at 5-6, latest.
No high class ballet teacher will take anything from a 5-6yr old. No mayor will intimidate them. They will boot anyone they feel is slacking. Making it this long Chloé could be a bully, she could be vicious, she could be mean, but she *should* be driven, and disciplined. She should value physical precision and poise. Picking on Marinette for being clumsy flows perfectly from that, but only if we see her comparing herself favorably.
In the absence of a strong parental figure, that teacher should be an integral part of her life.
We got none of that though, because 'lol spoiled rich girl' and the story writing isn't as deliberate as they claim. The '8yrs of dance' was a throw away line made up for one episode without thought.
Going beyond her character, this helps explain a lot of the other ??? Moments and lose ends too.
i KNOW im beating a dead horse but we were so robbed and i could genuinely talk about this for hours. THE DYNAMIC OF CHLOE BEING ADRIENS CHILDHOOD BEST FRIEND/ONLY FRIEND. they both have shitty parents, they ARE each others family. she thinks she's in love with adrien but realizes it's familial, not romantic. she's marinettes bully but grows as a person with ladybug & adrien's encouragement. SHE CHANGES BECAUSE SHE LOVES ADRIEN LIKE A BROTHER AND SHE BEGRUDGINGLY WARMS UP TO MARINETTE BUT THEY NEVER TRULY BECOME FRIENDS UNTIL AFTER ADRIEN AND MARINETTE GET MARRIED BECAUSE SHE THINKS MARINETTE WILL HURT HIM LIKE HIS FATHER. SHES THE MOST OVERPROTECTIVE SISTER TO HIM. SHE STAYS THE SAME UPPITY RICH GIRL WITH A HEART OF GOLD BECAUSE SHE ADMITS HER FLAWS AND STRUGGLES BUT STILL KEEPS A MASK UP MOST OF THE TIME. SHE LOVES LADYBUG AND CANT STAND CHAT NOIR UNTIL THE REVEAL BECAUSE THATS HILARIOUS. THE POTENTIAL KEEPS ME UP AT NIGHT. i will NEVER accept what we got.
BECAUSE WHAT A WASTE OF A WONDERFUL CHARACTER. SOMEBODY SEDATE ME.
i love watching namra in the back of scenes. shes literally always just standing there like a goddamn horror movie character perfectly still, and then suhyeok walks up and is like "hi wifey❤, are you doing okay? do you need some water? i love you." and she keeps standing there but she's happier.
Johanna: Annie's eyes are blue?
Finnick: They're a sea green, more aquamarine than blue.
Johanna: When was the last time she smiled?
Finnick: This morning, we were talking about starfish.
Johanna: When's my birthday?
Finnick:
Johanna: When's my birthday, Finnick?
no i’m not over emma only having a t-shirt to go off of and going to find sam
there’s just something so powerful in “i don’t remember you but i do believe you.”
like are you serious ?? she doesn’t remember meeting him but she remembers trusting him i’m gonna be sick
You know what’s cruel? Emma not remembering Sam. But you know what’s sweet? Emma still believing in Sam.
Girl help your boyfriend's been radicalized by the local date rapist he thinks supe-supremacy is his only road to freedom he's never had a beer before and his only friends were puppets he doesn't understand the nuances of the current geopolitical climate and if left unchecked his beliefs coupled with his powers will make him your worst nightmare
Hands down one of the best scenes in all of The Boys is when Becca meets the boys and they’re all grinning like assholes when Butcher goes all soft on her
